Xixiang Cherry Valley
西乡樱桃沟
A cherry-growing valley on the outskirts of Xixiang County town, with a sea of cherry blossoms in spring and cherry picking in early summer.
Cherry Valley lies north of Xixiang County town. The valley is planted with cherry trees. In mid-to-late March the blossoms bloom in drifts, and around May the cherries ripen and visitors can enter the orchards to pick them. Along the valley are farmhouse restaurants and tea-garden walking paths. The scenic area focuses on rural leisure and suits family outings. Transport: about 1 hour from Hanzhong city centre via the Shi-Tian Expressway to Xixiang. It can be paired with Wuzi Mountain on the same day. Picking-season weekends are busy, so arrive early.
